At the historic centre you’ll be able to explore a tangle of narrow, cobbled alleys lined with attractive, centuries-old buildings. The city is known for its Renaissance and Baroque culture, with a host of impressive examples to be seen throughout Viseu.

first time in Douro and we will come back ! Quinta das Tilias is one of these hidden gem you see from far when cruising on the Douro and you would never dare dreaming having for yourself... and we did ! We spent a week in this wonderful place, comfortable, charming, spacious and super well located. Marcos has been a fantastic host, super reactive and always going the extra mile to organize activities, offer tips and even delivering a full Portuguese meal prepared by a local chef on our terrace. A must go !

This is a fantastic property in a beautiful setting. Perfect for getting away from it all!
Sherrin and Tony were great hosts and helpful in every way. Nothing was to much trouble for them in ensuring we had an enjoyable stay.
